CHEMICAL LECTURE ROOM. 

HISTORICAL. 

ATase School of Applied Science was founded and endowed 
by Leonard Case. The School was incorporated in 1880 and 
instruction was begun in 1881. Through the generosity of the 
citizens of Cleveland an admirable site for the School was secured 
on Euclid Avenue, opposite Wade Park, and the School took 
possession of the first building on the grounds in 1885. The 
rapid growth of the School soon made more ample accommo- 
dations necessary, and new laboratories were erected to provide 
for the increasing demand. 



The School offers thorough training in the following regular 
courses : 



I. Civil Engineering. 

II. Mechanical Engineering. 

III. Electrical Engineering. 

IV. Mining Engineering. 



V. Physics. 

VI. Chemistry, 

vii. Architecture. 

viii. General Science.

CIVIL ENGINEERING ROOM. 



CIVIL ENGINEERING. 



Tjf he instruction in this department is intended to give the 
student such familiarity with the use and adjustment of sur- 
veyors' and engineers' instruments, and such a knowledge of the 
theory and practice of Civil Engineering, as will render him 
immediately useful in the field and office, and will enable him 
to advance rapidly into positions of responsibility. 

The instruction is made as practical as possible, and field 
work is made a prominent feature of the course. 

The field work consists of surveying with the chain, 
surveyor's compass, transit, solar compass, stadia and plane 
table ; Leveling, direct, trigonometric and barometric ; Topo- 
graphical Surveying; Geodetic Surveying; Road Surveying; 
including reconnoissance and location ; and Field Astronomy, 
comprising the determination of the true meridian, azimuth, 
latitude, longitude and time. 

The course includes the following subjects : Surveying, 
Topography, Strength of Materials and Stability of Structures, 
Road Engineering, Bridge Engineering, Hydraulic and Sanitary 
Engineering.

LATHE ROOM. 



MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. 



TJThe course in Mechanical Engineering is intended to be such 
as will best fill the demand which now exists for young men 
capable of designing, constructing and operating improved 
machinery. 

After a thorough course in mathematics and physics, the 
subject of the strength of materials and the design of beams, 
columns and trusses is taken up. Machine design is considered 
both from a mathematical and from a practical standpoint, and 
working drawings are made as for actual shop use. 

A practical knowledge of electrical machinery is obtained, 
and most of the senior year is devoted to steam engineering, 
theory, design and specifications. 

There is a two years' course in pattern-making and machine 
work to give a working knowledge of shop practice, and an idea 
of the value of labor and material. 

Tests of material, and of engines, boilers, pumps and machinery 
form an important part of the course, while frequent excursions 
to manufacturing establishments give zest and variety. 









ALTERNATING CURRENT DYNAMO. 



ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. 



TjfHE course is intended to fit students for professional work 
in the various branches of applied electricity. To this end 
the instruction is both theoretical and practical, and is com- 
bined with so much of the courses in mechanical engineering 
and physics as will form a preparation from which to specialize 
in the direction of electrical work. 

During the first two years the instruction will be nearly 
identical with that in Mechanical Engineering. In the third and 
fourth years a thorough course in Theoretical and Practical Elec- 
tricity is given. In the electrical laboratory students make 
measurements of resistance, potential and induction, by all the 
recognized standard methods. They give special attention to 
methods of testing and measuring the out-put of dynamos and 
motors; methods of wiring for arc and incandescent circuits, and 
testing for faults in the same ; photometry of electric lights 
and distribution of power for street railroads and other purposes. 
The principles of dynamo and motor designing receive practical 
illustration. 




ASSAY FURNACES. 



MINING ENGINEERING. 



7JThe course in Mining Engineering comprises the studies com- 
mon to all of the engineering courses, and, in addition, 
special instruction in Mining Surveying, Mining Machinery, 
Chemistry, Geology, and Metallurgy. 

In Chemistry students receive instruction in qualitative and 
quantitative analysis during the third and fourth years, and are 
required to spend a large portion of this period in following 
out those analytical methods in the laboratory which have especial 
connection with metallurgy and mining engineering. 

The instruction in Metallurgy consists of a course of lectures 
and recitations twice a week, extending throughout the year. 
The work of the first term includes lectures on fuels, refractory 
materials, iron, steel and copper; and of the second, on gold, 
silver, lead, zinc, aluminum and mercury. 

A course of lectures is given on crystallography, blow-pipe 

analysis and determinative mineralogy, supplemented by laboratory 

work on a study of crystalline forms by means of models, and 

the determination of mineral specimens by physical character- 

' istics and by the blow-pipe. 




GENERAL LABORATORY. 



CHEMISTRY. 



fll he Chemical Laboratory is well equipped with appliances 
necessary for the study of the various branches of chemistry. 
Lecture demonstration and laboratory application are closely 
related to enable the student to acquire a correct knowledge 
of principles and experimental methods. 

A thorough course in general and descriptive chemistry is 
attended by all students as an essential part of the preparation 
for the scientific professions. Students in chemistry receive 
careful training in analytical chemistry, including practice in all 
typical standard methods of analysis. Organic chemistry, which 
now occupies as prominent a place in a chemical education as 
inorganic chemistry, is thoroughly taught during the third and 
fourth years. Technological and applied chemistry forms an 
important part of the work of the fourth year. Class room 
and laboratory work is supplemented by visits to manufacturing 
establishments, of which a large number in Cleveland are 
accessible to students. 

The chemical laboratory offers good advantages to advanced 
students, and any persons properly qualified by previous training 
may engage with the instructors in the study of special 
problems in chemistry. 




A CORNER IN THE PHYSICAL LABORATORY. 



PHYSICS. 



/jjTHE instruction in Physics begins with a general course 
covering the whole subject, extending through the second 
year, and is required of all students. 

In order that the principles involved may be realized as 
actual truths, the students are required to spend a considerable 
portion of their time in the physical laboratory, in which 
instruction is given in the use of instruments of precision, in 
physical manipulation, and in the actual testing of the laws and 
principles given in the general course. 

Students who take the course in physics will, during the 
third and fourth years, pursue a course of reading with lectures 
on mathematical physics, including the theory of potential, 
analytical mechanics, theory of heat, theory of light, and theory 
of electricity and magnetism. During the third year laboratory 
work will be continued, consisting of advanced manipulation 
and testing, especially in light and electricity ; and in the fourth 
year each student will be expected to undertake an original 
research which is to form the subject of a thesis. 




ARCHITECTURE. 



^HE course in xlrchitecture comprises such branches of Civil 
Engineering as deal with the engineering questions in 
architecture, and special training in drawing and in architectural 
design and construction. 

The course in drawing comprises: geometrical drawing; 
orthographical projections; isometric, mechanical, and cavalier 
projections; shades and shadows; natural perspective; free hand 
drawing; ornamental designs; plans, elevations and sections; 
and details of construction. 

A course is given in Graphical Statics, which includes the 
calculation of the strains in girders, roof trusses, arches, and 
other structural forms used in architecture. 

Special training is given in architectural design, and in 
drawing plans, specifications, and contracts. 

The history of Architecture receives careful attention and 
a course of illustrated lectures is given on this subject, which 
includes all of the styles of architecture, both ancient and 
modern. 




ZOOLOGICAL COLLECTION. 

GENERAL SCIENCE COURSE. 

^jJThis COURSE is arranged to meet the demand for a scientific 
course of study that is not purely technical, but is of a 
broader and more general character. 

In the place of the higher mathematics (which must be 
elected, however, if engineering or electrical studies are to be 
taken later), and the strictly professional studies, this course 
offers instruction in logic, civics, economics, philosophy, history 
and the natural sciences, besides an increased amount in 
French, German and English. 

This course is by no means less thorough or exacting than 
the technical courses. The number of hours of recitations 
required per week is slightly in excess of those required in 
the other courses, and the laboratory work is supplied in the 
Natural Science department. 

The elective system permits the student to obtain a very 
thorough training in any one of several directions, and 
all studies of the professional courses are open to students 
in this course who are fitted to take them. It is a course 
particularly adapted to those who are fitting themselves for 
teaching, for journalism, for general business, or for post- 
graduate work in Natural Science, as well as for those who 
are expecting to enter upon the study of law or medicine.
